Do I need to use a custom domain with Google's G Suite (formerly Google Apps)? I can't see any way to sign up for the service without wiring up a domain. Isn't there some kind of default domain that could be used, like [email protected]?

  • What do you mean by "custom domain"? G-Suite works with any domain you wish. The e-mail accounts all use that domain to work. Once you select a domain name to use, there is no changing it later. Nov 30, 2016 at 1:31

    Right. I don't want my own domain. I just want to use the service without wiring up a domain.

  • @ShashwatKumar Not exactly. G Suite has certain features and integrations that are not available to a standard Gmail account.

This is according to GSuite:

To use Google services with your organization or team, you need a domain name. This name will be in your users' email address as in [email protected]. And it can be in your company web site address, as in www.yourdomain.com.

There's no google-provided solution, apparently. I just verified that with a google customer rep. over an official support chat.

(although, to be fair, and blunt, I had learned that not all google support reps know all the available solutions, so it's worth following up)
